So I understand that this will happen from time to time with those models using the pot metal levers and brackets. Well, my time was Sunday evening during rehearsal, so I need a new bracket. I spoke with Michael Yahl at PSG Parts, but he doesn't have any made yet and I know that Coop has passed away, so I am hoping someone here might be able to help me get this replaced ASAP as I have some work to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks y'all.

Try James Morehead on the Forum, or Jeff Surratt at Show Pro or Bobbe Seymour. All should be able to help.

The late Eric West of Portland, OR., broke one of his Sho-Bud knee levers while on the job at Jubitz Truck Stop. Eric jumped up, left the room only to return moments later with a brand new radiator clamp, for possibly a one inch size hose.

He broke off the handle of dinner knife, then returned to the bandstand. Within minutes, he had
the modification completed and the last I heard, he was still using that set-up, after several years.

It's a true story and the mod did work!

I also heard that Basil Henriques uses a set of vise grips for a knee lever. How's that for ingenuity?
